Exhibit Curator
Hannah Lahti is a Public History and US History PhD student at Loyola University Chicago. She designed the Influences of a Self-Made Woman: The Early Journals of Frances Willard digital exhibit during a remote internship in the summer of 2020. The project aims to contextualize Frances Willard’s early journals in order to better understand the woman that she later embodied as a national socio-political reformer. With the support of the staff at the Frances Willard House Museum and Archives, the project developed into a digital exhibit and is available to students and researchers.
